Had lunch here during our stay at Fontainebleau. Tried their Grilled Swordfish and Moroccan Chicken Sandwich. Both were fresh and delicious. The staff was very warm and friendly.

My experience at La Côte was rather forgettable — neither good nor bad, simply unremarkable. The chicken sandwich had a pleasant flavor, but the meat itself was tough and overcooked, making it difficult to enjoy.
The service was attentive but not genuinely warm, with staff appearing somewhat rushed and insistent that we finish quickly — hardly the relaxed seaside experience one expects from such a setting.

We didn’t stay at the Fontainebleau Hotel but decided to try La Côte based on good reviews, the location, and the menu photos on Google Reviews. Unfortunately, the first impression wasn’t great – the hostess was very unfriendly, greeting us with complete indifference. The restaurant was almost empty (only 3–4 tables occupied), yet she simply walked us to a table, said “Enjoy” in the same indifferent manner, and left.
Our server was more pleasant and explained some of the menu items. We ordered half a dozen oysters – they were very small, and worse, each one had several shell fragments in each, so you have to eat them very carefully. The chicken kebab was very good; however, the price listed is only for the kebab itself, with no sides included. The tabouleh, which was still interesting to try, the waiter suggested as an accompaniment was an extra $13. Also, the side dish shown in the Google photos (with cucumber salad and rice) is no longer offered.
Another issue was with water service. We were only given a single glass of water at the start and no refills, even though I didn’t order any alcoholic drinks and easily finish two glasses of water during a meal, especially in the heat.
One more downside of dining outside: as soon as you leave your table, birds flock to it looking for leftovers.
Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service, especially the hostess, leaves much to be desired.

The hygiene conditions were so poor that I cannot recommend this restaurant at all.
To begin with, this place has basically turned into a feeding ground for pigeons. The couch seats near the entrance are especially bad—pigeons walk freely underneath the couches, and if you’re not careful, they’ll even fly onto the armrests and low tables.
I had high expectations since this is a restaurant at the five-star Fontainebleau Miami Beach, so it was very disappointing. The food itself was good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, which made the lack of hygiene stand out even more.
I strongly recommend that the restaurant management take serious action to address the pigeon problem.

We enjoyed grabbing drinks and a bite here. Staff were very friendly! Octopus was good.

I have been to this bar multiple times over the years and have ordered the piña colada-which is usually my favorite-with a double shot. The time around the drink was already melted, and it tasted very different than the last several that I had over the years I asked for a refund and instead of a refund, he came back with the same drink, but with the shot separate and then charged me double the price that it normally is . I usually wouldn’t complain.. $112 for two drinks is kind of hefty, especially when it’s usually 65. Plus, the side drink was not rum. It tasted like rubbing alcohol, which was supposed to be premium, which stated on the receipt. Additionally, we waited for this drink for over a half an hour and again still did not get a refund.

Beautifully located across from the beach. Excellent menu as well as ambiance. Delectable dishes did not disappoint. The grilled octopus, fragrant salmon and the dessert with raspberry sorbet so so good. I found I like this place best from all on the property.

I was excited to bring my followers a great experience at the Fontainebleau Hotel restaurant… but unfortunately, it was anything but family-friendly.
We came with my mom, who is almost 70 and has difficulty walking long distances. We were escorted through the hotel to the restaurant without any issues. After we finished lunch and stepped out to the beach area with our drinks, no one informed us that once we left, we wouldn’t be allowed back inside unless we were hotel guests. When we tried to return, we were denied entry—even though we had just come from the restaurant moments earlier.
What made the experience even more disappointing was the inconsistency. We watched the entrance staff allow other guests to walk in simply by saying they were staying at the hotel—no room key, no bracelet—while we were refused. The woman at the entrance was also chewing gum the entire time, which came across as unprofessional and inattentive.
As someone who shares experiences with my followers and looks for great places to recommend, this was a huge letdown. Terrible service, poor communication, and zero consideration for guests with Mobility concerns.
Save your time. If you’re looking for a place that truly values customer experience, Nikki Beach is a much better option.

Final day in Miami and the weather was actually nice, but still windy. After a spa treatment, I decided to have brunch right near the beach. I loved Mediterranean offerings, so I opted for the Lamb Pita and Cucumber Salad. The service was excellent, and the live dj created the quintessential South Beach vibes. It was a fantastic afternoon meal!
